Andrewcook Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Why can all Boats have an Tv Aerial that can have a extended Tv poll to all Boats to gain a very good Tv reception and save a person getting up and down adjusting the Tv Aerial each time out in the Cold evenings or Rain?

Smoggy Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 If you moor the boat in the right direction each time you don't have to adjust the aerial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQ Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 For Radio I take a 12ft wooden mast with me , to make sure I can contact base during the Three Rivers Race. Once I fit my motor boat for TV and radio I'm intending to fit a telescopic mast to get a good height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thought they still needed to be mounted as high as possible so wouldnt a mast/ pole be required on low boats and arent they 12v powered?

Bikertov Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I used to watch TV only once every 4 or 5 years, when they announced a new Prime Minister. But recently I've got into a new soap opera and I've been watching almost every week 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
